Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
What else can I help you with?
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
The formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges can be explained by the theory of what?
Plate tectonics
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
How are volanoes and the process of plate tectonics related?
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
How plate tectonics can CAUSE volcanoes?
because of these buts
Where does plate tectonics situated in layer of ocean?
earthquakes and volcanoes
Where does plate tectonics take place?
Plate tectonics occurs on Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small plates that move and interact with each other, causing various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
Which of the terrestrial planets experiences PLATE tectonics?
Earth of coarse. The signs of plate tectonics are volcanoes, earthquakes, and once again; volcanoes. Their are signs of plate tectonics on mars that have seized to a halt. Mainly extinct volcanoes and deep trenches.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges around the world. Movement of the Earth's plates can also trigger tsunamis and affect the climate by creating ocean currents and shifting continents.
